Some songs that were quite good last week

Jojo - Too Little Too Late (Nice and Nero mix)
This ‘landed on our desk’ (ie. someone emailed it to us) this week, giving Ol’ Big Head’s finest moment its second appearance in our Midweek Chart (or Some Things For The Weekend, or Spinning Around, or whatever we were calling it back then). This remix is an unlistenable racket, but a mildly diverting one nonetheless.

Hitchcock - Top Of The World
Another from our inbox, this is a neat little slice of nrg-filled electropop, which sounds like a male-fronted Goldfrapp played slightly too fast.

Freaks - The Creeps
The original, not the shit new one.

Justice - D.A.N.C.E.
Helping us ‘squeeze the last drops’ from summer (by turning the heating up and drinking cocktails) are Justice, who, with this blissed-out Parisian disco hipshaker, are really spoiling us.

Head Automatica - Beating Heart Baby
In which Head Automatica (who, despite the name, do not make Swedish Death Metal, or Death Metal of any nationality for that matter) make a fairly convincing case for the continued existence of guitars and Americans by ’Oooo-ing’ their way through a sunkissed slice of melody-filled power pop.

NB. We are still listening to Hadouken! and Kathy Brown quite a bit too.
